Too quiet. If I was in some sort of Hollywood action movie right now, I'd be pretty worried. Sadly, I'm not. But I do know how to fix this pesky silence issue. Hello, Windows Media Player. Billie-Jo of Greenday bursts into glorious song, informing us all that he walks alone, he walks alone. Tony looks confused before he remembers that I worked out how to get the radio to magically play via the computer. Across the office I see Lucas' back tense. He hates the radio. I would play something he liked, but he likes music that Tony and I can't quite convince our ears to enjoy, or indeed recognise as music. Billie Jo finishes his song and 'The Boys Are Back In Town' starts up. Tony grins.
"This is one of the classics."
"Yes," I agree. I'm in a silly mood today, even though I'm slowly dying from the mother of all colds. The sort of cold that's been around since the dawn of time. Dinosaurs probably suffered from this cold. In fact, it could be the reason why we don't ride to work on stegasauruses in an eco-friendly Fred Flintstone type way. Perhaps the dinosaurs were wiped out by the same snuffles that I am currently enduring. It can't have been pretty; in those days I'm fairly sure that Kleenex hadn't been invented. But I digress. I'm in a silly mood, and Tony is fun to wind up.
"It is a classic," I tell him with a straight face. "I like Queen."
Tony looks at me and smiles, but he doesn't disagree. I am suddenly filled with doubt. Did Queen write this? I'm sure it wasn't, they did 'We Are The Champions'... didn't they? Thin Lizzy did 'The Boys Are Back...", didn't they? Perhaps I'm wrong. I'm about to consult Google when suddenly Tony shakes his head and laughs at me.
"It's not Queen, it's Thin Lizzy."
Ah! I was right! But Tony appears to have got the upper hand in my wind up. I valiently attempt to scramble back.
"Thin Lizzy? Who are they?"
I can't keep a straight face. Tony knows I'm playing. He shakes his head at me. I retreat. Tony 1, Amanda 0.

What kind of friend are you? (shameless plug)
Which fictional driver are you? (less shameless)
